Cora Starbird was instantly killed by

Der. Mrs. Toilets also met her death in

ceived injuries from which her death is
momentarily expected. In the Manitoba
repair shops ten men were
at work when the storm broke,
the building fell, and all were caught in the
runs anu more or less injured. One OF
them, Charles Meinstrum, having his head
and side OF his face so badly smashed that
he cannot recover, several OF the others
had close calls for their lives, but escaped
without serious injuries.
The Manitoba railroad eating house, adj
joining the passenger depot, was totally de.
stroyed. The escape Of several persons

The decision comprises more than 10, 900

the announcement that the commission,

that the statute does not require it,
In every instance OF an exceptional case,
to grant its order for relief. The decision
says:
Before the carrier is at liberty in its de-

must judge for itself what are ''substanti-.

tions.' which preclude special rate, re.
bate or drawback which is made unlawful
to Judge for it until after tho carrier has
acted; then only for the purpose Of deter.
mining whether its actions constitutes a
violation OF law. The carrier judges on
peril OF the consequences; but the special
rates, rebate or drawback which it grants
are not illegal when it turns out that the
circumstances aud conditions were not
such rs forbid it; and as congress- clearly
intended this, it must also, when using the

tended that the carrier whose privilege was
in some way limited by them. should act
upon it's Judgment OF limiting circum-
stances and conditions. The commission,
therefore, will not undertake to decide in
advance what constitutes or what does
not constitute discrimination under sub.
stantially similar circumstances and con-
ditiona," but will leave the railroad COM
panies in fixing their tariffs to act upon
their own judgment and at their risk, sub
